Abstract

A protective garment (10) of multi-component construction for covering and protecting vital portions of a body of a wearer. The protective garment (10) has a layer of body armor material (32) which has at least one of ballistic and puncture resistant capabilities. Additionally the protective garment includes a flexible sheet (42) formed of a plurality of resilient honeycomb cellular structures which are constructed of thermoplastic polyurethane. The flexible sheet (42) of thermoplastic polyurethane structures is positioned to overlie the layer of body armor material (32) and to face outwardly from the body of the wearer. The layer of body armor material (32) is positioned between the flexible sheet (42) of resilient honeycomb cellular structures and the body of the wearer upon which the protective garment is worn.
